We report a case in which alcohol septal ablation was used as a bailout therapy for the acutely developed intracavity obstruction after TAVI. Alcohol septal ablation can be considered as a salvage therapeutic tool when other therapies are...

We conducted a study to evaluate the transcatheter paravalvular leak closure (TPVLC) aptitude to reduce manifestations of heart failure caused by aortic paravalvular leak (PVL) and found that heart failure caused by aortic PVL can be safely...

Attempted atrial transseptal puncture in a 63-yr-old man undergoing an ablative procedure for atrial fibrillation was complicated by inadvertent delivery of an 8 Fr sheath across the aorta. Due to obesity-related perioperative risks we opted...

Using a Gore Flow Reversal protection device, we were able to use catheter therapy to treat a carotid thrombosis, which was previously contraindicated for this condition. The embolic protection device and the procedural technical aspects are...
